Premier Artist 13" x 7" Brass Snare Drum, Brushed Brass

Full Description

Warm brass tone with clear attack

The 1.2mm brass shell gives you a warm, full-bodied sound with rich overtones, balanced by the bright projection needed for clear definition. Rim shots have a sharp, cutting character that helps them stand out within a mix, giving you plenty of scope for pronounced accents. At the same time, the shell maintains warmth and resonance for a rounded overall voice. This combination makes the snare adaptable across Rock, Jazz, Gospel, and other musical styles, particularly when you need a drum that can provide both an aggressive attack and a richer underlying body.

Dial in your preferred tuning

A wide tuning range lets you shape the snare around your playing style and musical setting. Tune it higher for a tighter, more cutting response or take it lower when you want a deeper, warmer sound. The 13” x 7” dimensions combine a sharp, responsive attack with a deep and powerful body, helping the drum maintain its character across different tunings. Its 1.2mm shell thickness also balances warmth, bright projection, and sensitivity, giving you the flexibility to experiment with different sounds while retaining the clarity and definition needed for articulate snare parts.

Responsive across your dynamics

Hand-selected 42-strand steel snare wires help balance articulation, sensitivity, and shell resonance. This gives the snare an expressive response that can translate changes in your playing dynamics while retaining its distinctive brass character. The increased strand count works alongside the shell's sensitivity, giving you plenty of response when playing more detailed snare parts. Whether you're working with tighter patterns or putting more force behind accents, the combination of snare wires and brass shell provides a clear, responsive voice. A coated batter head and clear resonant head complete the setup.

Open resonance with a timeless finish

The 1.5mm triple-flange steel hoops encourage a slightly more open and resonant sound compared to thicker hoops, complementing the rich overtones of the brass shell. Eight low-mass lugs provide the shell hardware, while Premier's snare strainer completes the snare mechanism. Visually, the brushed brass shell finish gives the drum a timeless appearance designed to complement a wide range of kit finishes. Chrome hardware provides a contrasting finishing touch, making the snare easy to integrate visually as well as tonally into your existing setup.
